Bart depends on his mother for everything he needs. When he cries, she responds with food or a clean diaper or a cuddle. Erikson would say that Bart's mother is helping him resolve the conflict known as:

A) trust versus mistrust. B) the oral stage. C) fear versus comfort. D) the dependent stage.

The answer is a). Trust vs mistrust

Explanation: Trust vs. mistrust is the first stage in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This stage begins at birth and lasts through approximately 18 months of age. It is the most important period in a person's life because it shapes our view of the world, as well as our personalities. Infants learn to trust that their caregivers will meet their basic needs. If these needs are not consistently met, mistrust, suspicion, and anxiety may develop.

Bart's crying carries an important message; there is some need that should be met with a response from his mother, whether it involves providing food, safety, a fresh diaper, or a comforting cuddle. By responding quickly and appropriately to Bart's cries, a foundation of trust is established.
